TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing python2 working but py3 not working

Question

Python2 wotking but py3 not working

hashlib.sha256(re.sub('[^a-zA-Z0-9]', "", each_user["Merchandiser"]).lower()[
                                           :4].capitalize() + "@123").hexdigest()

Answer 1

You need to encode the string before you call hexdigest.

Try the following:

import hashlib

hashlib.sha256(
    (
        re.sub('[^a-zA-Z0-9]', "", each_user["Merchandiser"]
              ).lower()[:4].capitalize() + "@123"
    ).encode("utf-8")
).hexdigest()

Answer 2

what type is 'each_user' here?

I think your need to encode sha256 argument

hashlib.sha256((re.sub('[^a-zA-Z0-9]', "", each_user["Merchandiser"]).lower()[:4].capitalize() + "@123").encode())

if

each_user["Merchandiser"]

is a str
